The Crimean War
Crimean War
A conflict (1853-1856) primarily involving the Russian Empire against an alliance of Britain, France, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia. Triggered by Russia’s desire to expand influence in the declining Ottoman Empire, it was fought mainly on the Crimean Peninsula. The war is notable for its logistical challenges, early adoption of modern warfare tactics (like trench warfare), and significant press coverage that shaped public opinion.
